DPA is the leading Danish Professional Audio manufacturer of high quality condenser microphones and microphone solutions for professional applications in studio, broadcast, theater, video/film and sound reinforcement environments. All DPA microphones and components are manufactured at the company's purpose-built factory in Denmark.

Designing microphones with amazing sound, exceptional consistency and outstanding durability is no easy feat. DPA Microphones draws on more than six decades of world-class microphone design experience. This history starts back in the 1950s, when our predecessor, Brüel & Kjær, developed the first, precisely accurate measurement microphones. Today, sound superiority and technical innovation is still at the heart of everything we do.

The 4006 Omnidirectional Microphone was one of the first recording mics DPA developed and is still one of the best-loved recording mics in the world.

Directional headset mics are used in the most demanding environments, where high SPL, stage noise and the need for high gain-before-feedback put extreme pressure on performance. Expectations for natural sound, intelligibility, comfort and ease of use remain equally uncompromising.

Our new 6388 moves beyond these conflicting demands. By combining CORE+ technology, highly controlled proximity and directional response and an optimized acoustic design, it delivers DPA's renowned natural and authentic sound with exceptional consistency — fast and without complexity.

An immersive Dolby Atmos® recording was recently captured at the State Music School concert hall in Jastrzębie-Zdrój, delivering a three-dimensional, reference-grade sound that places you as a listener right in the center of the acoustic space.

The sonic magic was engineered by Tadeusz Mieczkowski, who deployed an impressive array of 16 DPA Microphones alongside a custom Decca Tree array to translate every detail of the hall and instrument with utmost precision.

Pianist and composer Kamil Serefko played a pristine Fazioli grand piano that was meticulously prepared and tuned particularly for this session by Michał Twardy.

A while ago, we shared Chris Welcker's (CAS, Catgut Sound), photos of a very cool #mictrix, using one of our 6060 subminiature lavs on the Netflix film Carry On. Now, he shared this image from the film with us so that we can see the 'pen' in context on the set.

This article will give you guidelines on close-miking a double bass (upright bass, acoustic bass or contra bass). It will discuss the best type of mic for the job as well as suitable placement options.

Please remember, great sound is subjective, and the miking methods described in this article are suggestions only. Try these methods out, but make sure to listen and choose the best solution for your specific preference and situation.

“At the Avon Theatre in Stratford this season, we’re using seven of the new DPA 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Mics across the lip of the stage for all four productions, and the results have been outstanding.

In previous seasons, our front-of-stage mics needed heavy EQ just to make them less noticeable. Even then, fan noise, colouration, and phasing between mics were always challenges.

The goal here has always been simple: every word heard clearly, without the audience feeling like the show is amplified. We call it “mixing in the bubble.

This year, the DPA 4097s have come incredibly close to that ideal. They’re natural, transparent, and sonically almost invisible. If you didn’t know they were there, you’d think the stage itself was carrying the sound.
DPA never disappoints, and these new 4097 CORE mics are no exception.”

Performer Magazine had artist and producer, Jordan Childs, test our DPK2015 Piano Stereo Kit.

"What I liked most about the mics is how transparent they were, but also there was like a little bit of sweetness added. And then there was also just this three-dimensional quality. It's like it opened up the source to be more well-rounded, and again without any EQ, without any enhancement, like it brought the sources alive and gave them more dimension."
